I managed to scientifically prove that gnomes are faster than any other race, if all races were to scale. They move twice as fast, just cover less ground. Just like a remote control car can go 120 mph, but not actually travel 120 miles in an hour because the are smaller than a real car.
I made Pat cry.
He was going on about how all races travel the same speed then used gnomes as an example about how they just look faster. And I was like no baby, they are faster their steps are just smaller so they cover less ground. And my druid in bear form is slower, but takes much bigger steps than in elf form.
